«thema meines BEItra* (.) ach quatsch (.) meines VORtrags ist»: Zur Funktion und Klassifikation von selbstinitiierten Selbstreparaturen im Deutschen. Eine Analyse am Beispiel von Prüfungsgesprächen

In the last fifty years, the empirical analysis of spoken language and conversation has attracted considerable research attention. Based on data from exams held in German, the aim of this paper is to examine the retroactive and projective operations that underlie the implementation of self-initiated and other-initiated repairs. On the one hand, the paper will provide a description of the form and function of the most frequently occurring repairs in this communicative genre, while on the other hand, it will determine the structural and functional differences in the employment of repair forms and repair markers among both native and non-native German speakers.
